Arcade Fire- MEN Arena, August 31st

I don’t like to admit this- but until last week I’d never seen Arcade Fire live. I’d had good intentions and my friend Kevin had told me countless times to make them top of my list of “bands to see live”- I just kept failing…

I’d waited so long that when my chance finally came- they were playing … blerg- An arena show. I’ve never been keen on arena shows in general. That normally stops me from even thinking about buying a ticket. But I have to say, I think I’ve changed my mind about them.

Arcade Fire were able to make this MASSIVE space feel tiny- they were capable of ushering in a sense of community… very impressive.

They are absolutely incredible live. I would go again- no matter the venue- even if it were 5 times the size of the MEN Arena. Lesson. Learned.
